On multicast interference alignment in multihop systems

This paper investigates alignment schemes for multicast traffic over an equal path length multihop time-varying circularly symmetric fading channels. A finite field channel model is assumed, where the inputs and channel gains belong to the same field Fq. The mechanism used in this paper combines elements of the alignment strategy developed by Nazer et al. with the multihop unicast alignment strategy devised by Jeon et al..
